Do I advance the timing or retard it??
My small block Ford has my headers running hot to where they have discolored my ceramic coating on the headers, especially the passenger side. I was told that if I advance the timing that it will make the headers run cooler. Is this true? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You in advance.The Zoo Keeper

if you have a header running hot, you dont change the timing, unless its off. if the timing is set where its suppose to be, its not the timing. lean carb. is a good start.Mike

yes like he said its either running to lean or timing is way retarded.i had my old 302 headers turn red hot and light my plug wires on fire.
Shine's done a lot more hot rod & muscle car builds than me, but I've found an adjustable PV to be helpful in balancing front to back braking. All OEM vehicles use a non-adjustable proportioning...
